Dear Biomch-L readers,
A happy and productive New Year to you all. In the coming
period, I will try to keep you informed about new developments in
world-wide computer networks. There are many interesting things
going on in that area. Today the first installment in that
series.
A relatively new service available on the Internet is an online
library that lets you browse through the table of contents of
many, many journals. It is even possible to have journal
articles sent to you by FAX on the same day, for a fee of about
$10 (at least in North America) which can be paid by credit-card.
There is no fee for looking at table of contents. The
user-interface is not very efficient, and documents are not (yet)
available in electronic form, but it is a welcome step in the
right direction.
This service (CARL) is available by TELNETting to
uncover.carl.org. Just type 'telnet uncover.carl.org' and follow
the instructions. Here in Calgary, CARL is also accessible
through one of the menus in GOPHER, which is an increasingly
popular, menu-driven information retrieval program. Type
'gopher' to find out. If you do not have TELNET or GOPHER,
you're out of luck. Sorry. Following this message, as an
example, is part of a dialogue with the CARL system.
